The answer is 17,182.08 cm³

To calculate this we need to calculate the volume of each ball V2 - V1 = ?

The volume of a sphere with radius r is:

V = 4/3 π r³

Ball 1:

r1 = 18 cm

V1 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 18³

V1 = 24,416.64 cm³

Ball 2:

r2 = 12 cm

V2 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 12³

V2 = 7,234.56 cm³

How much more water is in the larger balloon than in the smaller balloon:

V2 - V1 = 24,416.64 cm³ - 7234.56 cm³

= 17,182.08 cm³
